Taking a Stand Against Censorship

Censorship has become a well-debated issue in legislative hearings, at dinner tables, on social media posts, during college lectures. Yet, it is without a doubt that when voices are suppressed, words are modified and content is withheld from the public, the right to freedom of speech is undermined. You may be familiar with the First Amendment to the Constitution, but have you taken the time to dig into its meaning, purpose and significance? Are you well-informed on ways it is being challenged, abused or protected? This week, on “Advocacy Lifeline,” host Dawn Richardson spotlights this fundamental human value — in an episode that viewers won’t want to miss!
